Building on a research project conducted at ECAL and the publication of a book dedicated to Richard Authier, the exhibition traces his career spanning more than four decades and invites visitors to discover the lasting impact he had on Swiss industrial design. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition was funded with support from the Inno D-Sign Fund<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3800,"template":"","class_list":["post-3791","expo-temp","type-expo-temp","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mumaps.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/expo-temp\/3791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mumaps.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/expo-temp"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mumaps.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/expo-temp"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mumaps.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mumaps.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
